short post, shorter run

Well I did my first run tonight. I did an easy 25 mile recovery ride and then immediately put on some trail running shoes Ive got and ran for only 5:15. Yeah short, but I figured i'd be sore even at that length of run. And guess what? I am sore already!! Darn it!!

After dinner I rode the same path I ran and it was .067 miles. I'll try and run 7 or 8 minutes tomorrow. That will hopefully be a mile. Hopefully if I am not in need of medical attention by the weekend i hope to do that flying mile I discussed before I tore my mcl (slight tear) XC skiing.

Why am I running? So I can do the JCB biathlon solo. Last year Chris Martino and I won the team competition.

I coulda told you about the being sore part. I ran 1.5mi on Thurs; let's just say that the legs were a little less than fresh for Raccoon Rally. DS was kind enough to post video of my legs going up in flames at the start of the 2nd lap.

JC-right on. I will run again tonight. maybe right as soon as I get home from work so my legs will be nice and warmed up. I might try and run 8 to 9 minutes this time to make sire I go at least 1 mile, but not much more!! Keep up the improvements!!

About Me

Hello fellow racers. I am a racer from old back again for a 2nd try. I raced in the late 80's and early 90's before a decade in the Hotel and Restaurant business and 70 to 90 hour weeks stopped my racing. Finally in the summer of 2006 I got the bicycle bug again and it wasnt even a few rides when I said "I'm gonna race again!!" So here I am on my way back to a healthier lifestyle and what I love almost more than anything else, Racing!!!
